About Me

I was married for about seven years and had my 3 wonderful boys (Cj, Ethan and Joseph)...unfortunately, we married too young and it didn't work out. Since then, I met a great guy, Joe; and from what started as "just friends" has turned into a great relationship....and from that relationship, we have our little girl (Angie).... Oh and of course, our two dogs (Daisy and Eddie)!!
On January 7, 2005, I lost my mother(my best friend)to ovarian cancer. I miss her TERRIBLY and hope that I can be half the mother/woman she was.

I have been so excited to do another one of these "Writer's Workshops" from MamaKat, who has such a fun, addicting (aren't they all) blog.... So, we have been given a few prompts o pick from and run with, so here's mine:

10 Things Worth Saving (but I'm gonna write about all of them):

1. My Soul --- I really want to see my mom again one day and truly believe this is the way to do it2. The Earth --- I want my children to have a good place to live as they grow up3. The Country ---Please get somebody in the government that is going to do something about this mess!!4. Letters/Cards ---I love to go back and look at old stuff and read what people have written (some of my fondest “tangible” memories of my mom are from cards)5. Pictures ---Who doesn’t love pictures6. Old Magazines/Newspapers --- I guess I’m a pretty nostalgic person….It’s fun to me!!7. GAS --- It’s ridiculous now-a-days8. Those “pre-kid” jeans --- Come on…you know you always wish you could go back to those jeans. And keeping them gives me the motivation9. Leftovers --- It’s always better the next day10. THE DATE --- Joe and I will get married eventually!!!!

I know, right? I'm sorry I couldn't finish the story that way for you guys! It would have made for a nice ending, but I'm pretty sure we're both where we're supposed to be. I love all of your "savings"! I'm all about nostalgia too(clearly! you saw my box of goods!) I especially liked your #10- so cute!

I agree fully with the government and our country comment you made. It seems like they never have our best interests in mind, nor do they have a plan for the long-run ... it's always short-term fixes, and who cares what happens later ... ah, so frustrating.

Really great list. I LOVE the pre-baby jeans. I've always kept a pair around even if I'd never wear them again just to prove they fit. I've finally thrown all pre baby jeans out though......it was a HAPPY day when they were too big!

I had to comment on the pre-baby jeans. If I would have kept mine from 13 years ago and was able to put them on I'm sure I would have been caught by the fashion police for wearing high waisted mom jeans! :)
